Good Weather Hoped
For Eclipse of Sun
Colombo, Ceylon (U.R)
Scientists hoped today that bad
weather won't affect their ob
servations during the longest
eclipse of the sun in 1200 years
on June 20.
Rain, floods and heavy skies
have been the order of the day
throughout most of Ceylon in
recent weeks. However, most of
the scientists feel that the areas
where they have set up their ob
servation stations will have dry
weather in time for the eclipse.
Ceylon will be the most ad
vantageous place from which to
view the solar phenomenon, and
more than 100 scientists have
gathered here from throughout
the world.
A major test of one of the late
Dr. Albert Eistein's most fam
ous predictions will be made
during the eclipse. The Einstein
theory to be checked is one say
ing that a ray of light, traveling
close to a massive body, will
be slightly deflected by the mass
of the body.
Four Cars Involved
In Minor Accident
Four cars were involved in a
minor accident at about 3:30
p.m. yesterday at the Agate rd.

car driven by Frank Benjamin
Konopasek, 740 West McAn
drews rd., Medford, which then
swerved, hitting a parked car
owned by James A. Williams,
1310 West 10th st., Medford. A
portion of the Williams car was
torn off by the impact and
struck the radiator of another
parked car owned by Baxter L.
Farster, 618 Park Place 5, Med
ford. There were no injuries,
and damage to the vehicles was
minor, officers said.

Support rates in non-commercial

Kissing Bandit Sought
By
New York Police
New York (U.R) New York
police are looking for the kissing
bandit.
Catherine Stanton, 18, Brook
lyn, said the young man sat
down beside her on a subway
station bench and demanded her
money. She said she didn't have
any so he kissed her on the
cheek and fled.
A few hours later in another
subway station Minnie Diangelo,
18, Woodhaven, N.Y., was ap
proached by a young man of the
same description who robbed her
of $3, kissed her and left.

Mother Knifes Mate
When Shoes Refused
Los Angeles (U.R) A mo
ther of four children was arrest
ed today on charges she stabbed
her disabled husband with a
butcher knife because he refused
to give her money to buy shoes
for one of the youngsters.

fered a broken back and two
broken legs in 1953 while work
ing for an oil company, said his

shouted, "I'll kill you." She said
she did not know how he was
